About the Jülich Centre for Neutron Science (JCNS)

JCNS develops and operates neutron scattering instruments at some of the best neutron sources worldwide. In-house research focuses on correlated electron systems and nanomagnetism as well as soft matter and biophysics. Within these areas of expertise, we offer expert support at world-class instruments including a specialized sample environment and ancillary laboratory access for external users from science and industry.

Focus

Neutron Scattering

We investigate structure and dynamics of soft matter using neutrons, develop neutron scattering instruments and make them available to external researchers in the JCNS. More: Neutron Scattering …

Scattering Methods

We develop and use scattering techniques to understand the structural and magnetic order, fluctuations and excitations in magnetic systems and in highly correlated electron systems at the atomic level.More: Scattering Methods …

Jülich and the European Spallation Source

Neutron scattering gives us unique insights into matter and is indispensable both for basic and application-oriented research. The world's most powerful neutron source is planned to go into operation in 2019, and Jülich will be part of it.

1st Joint Workshop of RIKEN RAP and JCNS

The Japanese RIKEN Center for Advanced Photonics (RAP) and the Jülich Centre for Neutron Science (JCNS) held a joint workshop on compact accelerator-driven neutron sources (CANS) for the first time on 4-5 July, 2017 at the RIKEN campus in Wako near Tokyo, Japan. The workshop tackled common research topics regarding the development of target and moderator systems for CANS at both institutes.
